when you reuse the old bolts which allready has been in tension... you cant hear that screech sound when you turn that last 180 DGR ... and thats not good.. but else. That movie is good and you are on too it . 5 STARS -- the cream of the polo GB Nation. SALUTEE thee... respect. Wiking from Denmark. ( it's east of colchester ( Danish West ) :D

Really well edited video. Good work.

Was it a head gasket failure or a blocked crankcase breather problem . That would also throw that oil and cream mixture into the air pan when the pressure behind the breather got to great and it cleared the blockage up the pipe .This was common on old polos . The exact slight water leak you showed was also common and mentioned in the Haynes manuals and it was a volkswagon design fault ( i had the same leak from that exact position twice . It didn't really bother me as it was a really tiny amount and ran out of engine block and not into it ) When you change oil its a good idea to occassionly take the crankcase breather pipe off and squirt carb cleaner into the crankcase with the sump nut removed . It will drain straight out and flush some gunge out . Hope this helps somebody

How many hours did it take to replace the head gasket? I’m driving mine around Europe/ Asia and it just broke in Georgia! Kind of fucked!

[@akotlega]

Did You skimmed the head before reinstalling it back??

[@RuinedRides]

Did you use new head bolts? You can't reuse the bolts
